each other, on behalf of any insurer providing fire and extended coverage to
either of them covering the Leased Premises, Buildings or other improvements
thereon or contents thereof, a waiver of any right of subrogation any such
insurer of one party may acquire against the other or as against the Landlord or
Tenant by virtue of payments of any loss under such insurance. Such a waiver
shall be effective so long as the Landlord and Tenant are empowered to grant
such waiver under the terms of their respective insurance policy or policies and
such waiver shall stand mutually terminated as of the date either Landlord or
Tenant gives notice to the other that the power to grant such waiver has been so

actual costs to the Landlord with the next payment of Base Monthly Rent, or, if
the actual costs are less than the estimated costs, the Landlord shall forthwith
refund the amount of the Tenant's excess payment to the Tenant. Additionally,
upon Lease expiration or termination Landlord shall also determine Tenant's
Prorata Share of the annualized actual costs of the foregoing expenses for the
number of days the Lease is in effect during the calendar year in which the
Lease expires or terminates. If the annualized actual costs are greater than the
estimated costs, the Tenant shall pay its Tenant's Prorata Share of the
difference between the estimated costs and the annualized actual costs to the
Landlord, or, if the annualized actual costs are less than the estimated costs,
the Landlord shall forthwith refund the excess payment to the Tenant. For
purposes of calculating Tenant's share of expenses under this paragraph,
annualized actual costs shall be the sum of actual costs for the year at the
time of reconciliation plus the total estimated costs prorated for the number of
days from the date the last actual cost was paid to the end of the year. For all
utility services used or consumed on the Leased Premises in which the utility
service

Landlord therefore. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any interruption or
failure in the supply of any such utility to the Leased Premises.
In the event the utility company supplying water and/or sewer to

consumption of utilities, said expense shall be borne solely by the Tenant. Said
expense shall be paid promptly and any repairs requested by the utility company
shall be performed by Tenant immediately and without any delay.

energy furnished to the Premises, or if the quantity or character of the
electric and/or gas energy supplied by the Utility Service Provider or any
Alternate Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's
requirements, and no such change, failure, defect, unavailability, or
unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or
in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve
Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease.

Premises and/or the Building of which the Leased Premises are a part shall be

shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant. If
the Leased Premises are partially damaged by fire or other casualty, except if
caused by Tenant's negligence, and said Leased Premises are not rendered
untenable thereby, as determined by Landlord, an appropriate reduction of the
rent shall be allowed for the unoccupied portion of the Leased Premises until
repair thereof shall be substantially completed. If the Landlord elects to
exercise the right herein vested in it to terminate this Lease as a result of

improvements to be so taken, whether resulting from negotiation and agreement or
legal proceedings, shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, there being no
sharing whatsoever between Landlord and Tenant of any sum so paid. In the event
of any such taking, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease on the
date possession is delivered to the condemning person or authority. Such taking
of the property shall not be a breach of this Lease by Landlord nor give rise to
any claims in Tenant for damages or compensation from Landlord. Nothing herein
contained shall be construed as depriving the Tenant of the right to retain as
its sole property any compensation paid for any tangible personal property owned
by the Tenant which is taken in any such condemnation proceeding.
23. Assignment or Subletting. Tenant may not assign this Lease, or
sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without the written consent of

persons who are trespassers on or in the Area, or for any loss or damage caused
or resulting from the bursting, stoppage, backing up or leaking of water, gas,
electricity or sewers or caused in any other manner whatsoever, unless such loss
or damage is caused by or results from the negligent acts of the Landlord, its
agents or contractors.
30. Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any amount due to Landlord not
paid when due shall bear interest at two (2%) percent per month from due date

by Tenant, less the net amount received by Landlord for such reletting, if any,
unless waived by written notice from Landlord to Tenant. No action by Landlord
to obtain possession of the Leased Premises and/or to recover any amount due to
Landlord hereunder shall be taken as a waiver of Landlord's right to require
full and complete performance by Tenant of all terms hereof,

including payment of all amounts due hereunder or as an election on the part of
Landlord to terminate this Lease Agreement. If the Leased Premises shall be
reoccupied by Landlord, then, from and after the date of repossession, Tenant

pursuant hereto, and regardless of whether the Leased Premises shall be relet or
possessed by Landlord, all fixtures, additions, furniture, and the like then on
the Leased Premises may be retained by Landlord. In the event Tenant is in
default under the terms hereof and, by the sole determination of Landlord, has

provided by the laws of the State of Colorado.
E. In addition to all rights and remedies granted to Landlord by
the terms hereof, Landlord shall have available any and all rights and remedies
available at law or in equity, or under the statutes of the State of Colorado.
No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be
considered exclusive of any other remedy but shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute. Further, all powers and remedies given by this
Lease to Landlord may be exercised, from time to time, and as often as occasion
may arise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Landlord to
exercise any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right
or power or shall be considered to be a waiver of any such default or
acquiescence thereof. The acceptance of rent by Landlord shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any breach of any of the covenants herein contained or of any of
the rights of Landlord to any remedies herein given.
